Episode #730: How To Raise Fees Without Upsetting Referral Sources

In today's Ask Abundance episode of the podcast, the newest iteration of my Ask Allison series, I'm joined by Abundance consultant Kim Wheeler-Poitevien, LCSW. We're talking about how to raise your fees without damaging the referral relationships that helped you build your practice. Together, we unpack why this fear is so common, what referral sources actually expect when your rates change, and how to communicate fee increases with clarity and confidence. We also walk through different ways to approach raises, how to stay aligned with your values, and why protecting your own sustainability is an essential part of ethical practice. If you're full, undercharging, and worried that raising fees will burn bridges, this conversation will help you move forward without panic or guilt. A quick heads-up. The audio quality isn't what we normally aim for, and we appreciate your patience. The insights in this conversation felt too important to keep to ourselves.
